Matthew 28:5-7
New International Version (NIV)
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
The angel who announced the good news of the resurrection to the women gave them 4 messages: 1.) Do not be afraid. The reality of the resurrection brings joy, not fear. When you are afraid, remember the empty tomb. 2.) He is not here. Jesus is not dead and is not to be looked for among the dead. He is alive, with His people. 3.) Come and see. The women could check the evidence themselves. The tomb was empty then, and it is empty today. 4.) Go quickly and tell. They were to spread the joy of the resurrection. We too are to spread the great news about Jesus' resurrection.
